Call for Papers:“Research on Extreme Weather Events That Occurred around East
Asia in 2017-2021”
in the Special Edition/Collection of
Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan (JMSJ)
andScientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere (SOLA)
Catastrophic disasters triggered by mesoscale convective systems and typhoons occur
every year in East Asia. Especially in 2019 and 2020, a large number of casualties andsevere residential and agricultural damages were reported due to the record-breaking
rainfall amount or severe wind speed in Japan. Although many papers have been
published in the special edition/collection of JMSJ/SOLA “Extreme Rainfall Events in2017 and 2018”, extreme weather events have occurred after 2018. Our further
understanding of those physical processes and dynamical mechanisms that cause thoseextreme rainfall events is still in great need. Therefore, we welcome papers to study
properties or mechanisms of these recent extreme weather events based on observational
analysis, statistical data analysis, and weather forecasting including data assimilation. The
special edition also accepts papers on studies of recent extreme events with heavy
snowfall or extreme warm temperatures.
